Simply protecting small forests will not maintain the diversity of the birds they support over the long run, a Rutgers-led study says. Forests need to be carefully monitored and managed to maintain their ecological integrity.
As the oceans warm in response to climate change, fishing boats in the Mid-Atlantic that focus on only one or two species of fish are traveling more than 250 miles farther north than they did 20 years ago, while others catching a wide diversity of species have not changed fishing location, reported Talia Young, a postdoctoral research associate in ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton.
When money is tight, single mothers spend more of their health care dollars on their children than themselves, while two-parent families are less likely to make changes, according to a Rutgers study.
Rutgers and other physicists have discovered an exotic form of electrons that spin like planets and could lead to advances in lighting, solar cells, lasers and electronic displays. It’s called a “chiral surface exciton,” and it consists of particles and anti-particles bound togeth-er and swirling around each other on the surface of solids, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Programs to prevent HIV in transgender women are helping to lower the rate of new infection but better care and treatment of this vulnerable population is still needed, especially among those of lower income or people of color, according to a new Rutgers study.
Feature describes the first fully kinetic model of plasma particles showing that fast reconnection can indeed occur in partially ionized plasma.
Value in Health, the official journal of ISPOR, announced the publication of new research showing that the use of cost-effectiveness opinions issued by the French National Health Authority improved the information available to support the pricing decisions for new hepatitis C drugs.
Smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day can damage your vision, a study co-authored by a Rutgers researcher finds.
The American Neurological Association (ANA), the professional organization representing the nation’s top academic neurologists and neuroscientists, has announced the key areas of science to be explored at its 144th Annual Meeting, October 13-15, 2019 at the Marriott St. Louis Grand.
Investigators at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey have found that a surgical procedure, when used as a first-line therapy for a form of testicular cancer known as seminoma, is associated with favorable survival rates.
Atlantic Health System’s Morristown Medical Center and Overlook Medical Center were the only hospitals in New Jersey to achieve America’s 50 Best Hospitals Award™ and America’s 100 Best Hospitals Award™ from Healthgrades, respectively.
Value in Health, the official journal of ISPOR, announced the publication of new research suggesting that there is no standardized method to measure adherence to multiple medications (MMA), nor is there agreement between researchers on how to use a specific existing measure to calculate MMA.
Value in Health, the official journal of ISPOR, announced the publication of new research showing that the use of financial incentives to encourage engagement with tobacco quit line treatment is a cost-effective option to enhance smoking cessation rates for low-income smokers.
Community-based exercise programs can improve physical fitness and quality of life for people with cancer, a Rutgers study finds.
ISPOR announced the publication of a scoping review showing that “medical nutrition” terminology is not consistently defined, relevant European and US regulations are infrequently cited, and economic evaluations are infrequently conducted. The report was published in Value in Health.
Southern courts favor physicians in malpractice lawsuits over facial trauma treatment, while courts in the Midwest favor patients, according to a Rutgers study. The study, which was published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, is the first to explore facial trauma litigation. It also found that outcomes in facial trauma lawsuits generally favor physicians, with nearly three-fourths of cases being dismissed before trial.
Dr. Farber Leads Oncology Research Network Development and Dr. Scola Directs Atlantic Thrombosis Center
A Rutgers-led team has discovered two genes that make some strains of harmful Staphyloccocus bacteria resistant to treatment by copper, a potent and frequently used antibacterial agent. The discovery shows that Staphyloccocus aureus can acquire additional genes that promote infections and antibacterial resistance and may open new paths for the development of antibacterial drugs, according to a study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
